Between Lands: Migration as Transformation gives rise to new hybrid identities from which emerge new artistic languages and shared narratives that are respectful of diversity. Can these artistic practices help us think through prevailing feelings of uprootedness, dissolution of cultural bonds, loss of a shared world? In an eraof global mobility and amid unprecedented interconnection, can these artists’ perspectives elicit our more thoughtful and compassionate action?
Bui Cong Khanh presents recent work on the assimilation of Vietnamese labourers displaced to France during the colonial era. Justin Loke creates new work about notions of human physiognomic classification, a pseudo-scientific method of othering, weaving stories around European diasporas in Asia. Jakkai Siributr explores traumatic memory and statelessness through audience-engaging needlework. Jason Lim interrogates East/West ideological differences through transnational performance. The three Myanmar artists Yadanar Win, Nge Lay, and Aung Ko, have been actively exploring the experiences of migrant workers internationally, even before moving to France in 2021.
